STAND BY THE NOMINEE
A report Las been extensively cir¬
culated over our county, since the
late primary election, that an inde¬
pendent candidate would be run
Against Ron. Thomas J. Speer, the
• %
regularly nominated candidate of the
democratic party, for the legislature.
\Ve do not know how the report was
started, but wo feel safe in saying
there is no foundation for it in fact,
so far as wc are able to learn and un¬
derstand the situation. The Star
takes great pleasuro in assuring Mr.
Speer that ho need'have no fears
of opposition in that direction, as the
«
united democracy of Old Newton
will not suffer their chosen
date to bo defeated by nn iildcpuad
ontlntho coming election.
the Star did not support Mr.
in his race for the nomination, yet it
will give him its eboerful and earnest
support from now until the last bal¬
lot is deposited in tho ballot box on
the first Wednesday in October next,
andthosamohas ' been fairly counted.
• *1 . \
This, we believe, every good and
true democrat in Newton county
will do, and in doings this, the elec¬
tion of Mr. Speer is assured beyond
all question.

twelve years from articular and sci¬
atic rheumatism. He consulted
numerous physicians and tried all
sorts of medicine. Finally he be¬
gan taking tho Swift Specific as a
forlorn hope, and by its use he was
entirely restored. Ho writes: “1
foel like'a now ninn. I cannot at r
tribute jr;y miraculous and perfect
euro to anything hut tho Swift Spe¬
cific. I know that it alone cured
me, for nothing else hud done me
an 3’ good for twelve years. I owe
mj 1, restoration and strength for las
bor and religious duties alone to this
grand remedy, and gladly make this
statement for tho benefit of all suf¬
ferers from this most torturing dis¬
ease, rheumatism.”

The Power of Christ.
When 1 was a student at Prince¬
ton, Prof. Henry had so constructed
a huge bar of iron, bent into tho form
of a horso shoe, that it used to hang
suspended from another iron bar
abovo it. Not only did it hang there
but it upheld four thousand pounds’
weight attachod to it. That horse¬
shoe magnot was not welded or glued
to tho metal above it; but through
the iron wire coiled around it there
ran a subtle current of elecricity from
a galvanic battery. Stop the flow
of that current ono instant, and the
hngo horse-shoe dropped. So does
all tho lifting power of a Christian
como from the curront of spiritual
influence, which flows into his heart
from the Living Jesus. The strength
of the Almighty One enters in a be¬
liever. If his connection with Christ
is cut off, in an instant he becomes as
weak as any other man.—[Mr. T. L
Cuyler.

THE WORLD’S WONDER.
Now at 7 1-2 North Broad street, Atlanta, Ga., is the owner
of a double acting automatic Force Pump, which works with
compressed air, and will bring water from the bottom of a well
too feet deep, and throw it 50 to 75 feet. It will force water
through half a mile of piping. The filass works and the nov¬
elty iron works have these pumps for their protection against la
fire, and for other conveniences. It is cheap, durable, and
bor saving. No one should be without them. Good men,
with little capital, can get an agency to sell them, with big pay,
to the right man. See the patentee of the combined fire and
water proof cement roof paint lor terms.
